If a flyrod comes with an 6-8" retractable extension handle,,, does that mean it was (probably) designed as a 2 handed rod?
I assume a 2 handed rod requires a shooting basket (which I hate) or trampling the line in the sand/rocks. I can see no way to strip from reel as I'm casting. But then again, look who's asking.
Boy do I feel arcaic!!!
The extension handle is on the rod I've been having trouble with. I was told when bought that it was a "fighting butt" for when you tie a big'un on! (think they saw me comming? I'm starting to wonder).
Thinking now,,, 2 handed? Maybe why it's so top heavy? Maybe why I can't do squat with it single handed?
I tried it 2 handed today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I also need to find a rock to hide under for being stupid if my hunch is correct.
